| Article Name : | | | GALACTOMANNAN FROM MEDICINAL PLANT CASSIA TORA | | Author Name : | | | Manoj Singh , J. P. Singh , Rajeev Dubey and D. S. Singh | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-6347 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | A water soluble galactomannan having D-Mannose (4-part) and D-Galactose (2-parts) was isolated from Cassia Tora. In cassia Tora Hydrolysis of methylated seed gum furnished three methylated sugars, 2, 4-di-O-methyl-D-mannose, 2, 4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose and 2, 3,4,6-tetra-O-methy-D-galactose was present in molar ratio 2:3:2. Partial acid catalysed hydrolysis of the seed gum gave four oligosaccharides epimelibiose, mannobiose, galactosyl mannobiose, mannotriose along with the component sugars. Periodate oxidation and methylation studies in cassia Tora showed 44% of end groups from the recent studies it is the concluded that galactose unit in galactomannan only terminal positions. | | Keywords : | | - medicinal plant Cassia Tora ,water soluble galactomannan ,Medicinal plants ,
